Not sure exactly how much it weighs but, its awful heavy loaded. Id definately need a motorized transport to get this from point A to B. This thing has been a work in progress for awhile now. A good deal of what I have set up in it is from ideas I got from ya'll on the forum. Thanks for the positive feedback everyone.

Just saw in The Sportsman's Guide HQ Military Surplus ads where they have some boxes like mine for about $170 in Olive Drab. Just an FYI

I have a similar set up in my truck although I don't have the tacticool indestructible box. I have one of these storage bins from Walmart www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-92-Qt-Footlocker-Set-of-2/16415912It has wheels on one end so you can roll it around. Off the top of my head this is what's inside: Hammer, screwdrivers, jumper cables 3 liters of water. MRE and Mountainhouse meals and other assorted food items, wool blanket,2 fleece blankets, extra boots and wool socks, a change of clothes, gloves, bivy sack, small tea kettle, paper towels.... Before you think something is missing ( Like fire starting stuff and flashlights FAK) the most important items are in the backpack which I can just grab and go. The trunk kit is set up so I can either live out of my car for 72 hours, resupply my GHB/BOB or if I want to I can just up end it and roll it along behind me

All of our trucks have a truck box. And all of our truck boxes have a 72 hour kit + a case or a short case of water + camp gear like a tarp and cordage and pots and pans. Oh Yeah, and an 870 12 gauge.
So all I need to do is get in a truck and go. If I have time I think I can get out of dodge with the RV then I will have 150 gallons of water + 90 days food + all camp gear and tools + first aid and a generator etc. Plus have a duplicate of everything in the RV already at a pre-selected camp site, buried and waiting. Even more at a retreat.
But if I had to leave the truck I have one extra backpack and things are stored in buckets, so I have a way to carry or return to the truck and carry, could not take all but I do have buckets labeled so I could pick and choose which to take first.
The system I have for my BOB/48 hour kit is mostly around a battle belt and butt packs, so I could still put on a backpack if I wasn't going too far.
Having the extra and/or bigger stuff in a tote box or bucket just makes good sense.

I like that box......I use "Action Packers" made by Rubbermaid. I like packing my gear in back packs inside the Action Packers...so as to be able to grab and go if necessary.
Cool idea, thanks for posting.

Cool idea, thanks for posting. Me too. I started using the Action Packers years ago for camping trips - just the right size to still be able to lift into the truck bed when full. Perfect for sitting on, and you can stack them. Not even remotely in same class as the Pelican cases, but I can afford a bunch of these! When I was in contracting, I used black Contico truck boxes and still have 3 of those. They are much bigger and therefore less portable when full of heavy stuff!

That "one more thing-ites" will get you every time. Even my big gear bags get really heavy....so the idea is a bunch of small ones to lug if necessary.

Ya' know, it's funny how that works - but it's so very true!
That's why my big Contico's are sitting at my shop. They are gasketed and raintight, they will take a beating - but man-o-man are they heavy when full. I'm OK lifting and moving a couple of hundred pounds in and out of a truck bed, I do that daily with my big batteries. But anything beyond that is just to darn hard to deal with!
On one hand having several smaller boxes allows you ability to prioritize if you are leaving in an extreme hurry. On the other hand, it may leave you open to having a BUNCH of some things and not enough of others. I tend to prefer a bunch of identical boxes so that I don't have to think - just take as many as we can carry........
BUT, that also negates the ability to selectively fine tune your "grabbed" supplies for the particular situation at hand. For example: What if you were being thrust into a world that would never have bacon again, but lots of black beans? Well, I would want my bin full of canned bacon and I would skip the black beans of course! :-)
